I may be wrong here, so please feel free to correct me, but I think that this problem stems in part, from the use of ligatures. If I remember, these are italicised finishings to certain letters, also called Serifs. When i spoke to an Apple Accessibility team member about this, they explained what they were, and that certain types of font employ them for stylistic reasons. I.e. They look nice, but they make VoiceOver ignore the space between letters and words that use them. Dónal, if you'd like to write me off-list, I might be able to help you avoid them in your LaTeX-created PDFs. For everyone else, if you're creating PDFs yourselves, either from Pages or another word processor, try using fonts without Serifs, such as Arial or Times. There are others, and you can find them if you do a Google search for something like "sans serif fonts os x" Hope this helps Take care James Skype: saulky1984 - If you'd like to chat, please say who you are when requesting to chat.
